Swedish ferry operator Stena Line has taken delivery of Stena Embla, the final of the company's three new E-Flexer vessels destined for the Irish Sea. The delivery ceremony took place at the CMI Jinling Weihai Shipyard in China on 19 November. Stena Embla is the third of five next-generation roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax replica designer handbags) vessels ordered from CMI Jingling by Stena Line and Stena RoRo. The last two ships from the batch, which are somewhat larger, are scheduled for delivery in 2022.
A month ago, Stena Embla successfully completed its sea trials in China’s Yellow Sea. During the sea trials, the ship’s engine performance and fuel consumption were tested together with navigation and radio equipment, emergency systems, speed, maneuverability, and safety. In a week's time, the new building will start its long journey to the Irish Sea, Stena Line said on LinkedIn. At 215 meters in length with a freight capacity of 3,100 lane meters, Stena Embla will join its sister ship Stena Edda providing a combined increase in freight tonnage on the Belfast to Liverpool route of 20 percent. Each ship also has the space to carry 120 cars and 1,000 passengers.
